boys.

I have not been a very big fan of boys lately, but there is one little one who seems to have captured my heart.  I have been babysitting little Brett for about a month now, and he is just a light in my sometimes dim world.  No matter how bad my day could be, when I go and play with Brett for a couple hours, all my worries and stresses seem to melt away.  It's amazing how such a little person can make me feel so calm, and maybe even a little small myself.  I definitely always enjoy my nights with my favorite little boy.

and hopefully he enjoys me too.

happy.

It's such a simple word with so many meanings. Happy is different to everyone.  To me, right now, happy is contentment.  I am simply content with my life and how I am currently leading it.  I'm taking life as it comes, one day at a time.  To me, happy is sitting on a pumpkin.  It's as simple as that.

new hair

I love the feeling right after I get my hair newly dyed and styled.  I had the pleasure of enjoying this feeling yesterday.  There was also a huge storm here with hurricane force winds and power outages everywhere so I was hoping that the power wouldnt go out before my appointment.  So when 3:30 rolled around and I was sitting in the stylist chair with the bib around me and dye in my hair I was one happy customer.  And then right when I was getting comfortable, the power goes out.

This was kinda like when whenever you decide to finally wash your car, it decides to rain the next day.

Well the power persisted in not coming back on and my hairdresser was just about to put the shampoo in my hair when low and behold it came back on!  I was very happy that she wasn't going to have to trim my hair in the near dark, who know how that would have turned out.  But luck was on my side and she was able to trim and style it all in full light. 

And I must say it turned out pretty well, and I hope he gets extremely jealous when he sees it.

Ignorance is your new best friend

This past week has sucked to say the least.  I have had to deal with my first heartbreak, and it is not easy.
But I am a strong, independent woman who is surrounded by people who truly love me.

Paramore knows what I'm feeling:

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me

Well I guess I'll make my own way
It's the circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me,
Well sentence me to another life


Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (No! )
We're not the same (No! )
Oh we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (Hey! )
It's good (Hey! )
It's good


Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

 And this is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself


Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (No! )
We're not the same (No! )
Oh we're not the same


Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (Hey! )
It's good (Hey! )
It's good


Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out


Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

 Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
